Comments
John Osborn-11459 left a will, but this will is lost, misplaced, or discarded
and is not in the Suffolk Co., MA probate records. The distribution of his
estate (or a part of his estate) recorded in Suffolk Co., MA Probate Vol.
72, page 470, mentions that John Osborn-11459's eldest son John-11469
had died before him and his share of the estate was a lapsed legacy and to
be treated as intestate estate. John Jr.'s share was divided among the
five remaining heirs.
John Osborn-11459's sons Woodbery and Jeremiah seem to have died even before
John wrote his will -- they are not mentioned in the distribution at all,
meaning that they did not have any children (at least still alive in 1773)
of their own.
John Osborn-11459's son Samuel is mentioned in the distribution as being
deceased, but his "legal representatives" received a 2 sixth parts share
as Samuel was the only son remaining with his own heirs. (At that time in
Massachusetts, the eldest son received a two parts share compared with the
other children receiving a one part share.)
Newport Co., RI Inferior Court of Common Pleas record book B, page 634
contains record of a case John Osborn Esq. and Thomas Oxnard merchant, both
of Boston vs. Leonard Cozzens. John Osborn-11459's daughter Sarah married a
Thomas Oxnard. I believe this record is good circumstantial evidence that
Hon. John Osborn, Esq. appearing in various Boston records is the same
person as John Osborn-11459.
The published marriage records for Boston identify John Osborn-11459's last
wife as "Mrs." Elizabeth Pierce. Elizabeth (Pierce) Osborn's will, however,
states that before marriage she was Elizabeth Pierce, singlewoman.
